Making Food Personalized by 3D Printing Technology explores the topic from novel and different angles. The book covers the importance of personalized foods for an healthy and active life, also considering the importance of the structure-functionality relationship of nutrients and bioactive compounds. The main technical backgrounds and recent innovations for 3D food printing, including the design and development of printable food formula to get high fidelity and excellent structural stability after printing is also deeply analyzed in this important resource for researchers and students involved in several fields of the food-system and nutrition. Overall, 3D Printing has a goal to create edible structures from a digital structure designed by CAD software. This means that we can personalize shape and dimension without limits and with many degrees of freedom. This book will help readers increase the eating-pleasure of novel food products.
